The EU project ASTARTE aims at developing a higher level of tsunami hazard assessment in the North East Atlantic, Mediterranean and Connected seas (NEAM) region by a combination of field work, experimental work, numerical modeling and technical development. The project is a cooperative work of 26 institutes from 16 countries and links together the description of past tsunamigenic events, the identification and characterization of tsunami sources, the assessment of the impact of such events, and the development of adequate resilience and risks mitigation strategies. The ASTARTE project includes a web-based database on Paleotsunami deposits. It has been implemented with the purpose to be the future information repository for tsunami research in Europe, integrating the existing official scientific reports and peer reviewed papers on these topics. The database will be updated every 24 months. http://www.astarte-project.eu ...
